Author: KVUE News Staff Updated: 5:32 PM EST December 9, 2020 Following the news that Mayor Steve Adler flew to Mexico on a private jet to celebrate his daughter's wedding last month, despite him urging Austinites to stay home to curb the spread of coronavirus, a KVUE viewer reached out wondering if the mayor used taxpayer money to book his flight.
